This case has been so super charged by politics and by race the core issues have been forgotten.
In the media and in apps this case has become left vs right; second amendment vs gun control; so called ‘patriots’ vs BLM. So lets attempt to break this down to its most simple form so we can see what really needs to be analyzed here.
I notice an official sign from the police department that says traveling down main street is an arrest-able offense. So this morning I was walking to work down the main street of my town. I ignore the sign. And observed a few individuals spray painting cars; tagging them so to speak. Wasn’t my car; wasn’t my neighbor’s car, they were just random cars along the side street of owners I did not know.
I approach the individuals and order them to stop. The individuals flip me the bird. So I pulled out my gun and I told them to stop. One of the individuals, looked at me, dropped his spray paint can and charged at me.
He was not armed with a knife or with a gun or with anything else. He did not have anything else in his hand and I could not see anything else.
AM I LEGALLY JUSTIFIED IN MY ACTIONS?!
Or is this murder?
1. The first issue is may I use deadly force to project those cars?
And the answer is No.
For Three simple reasons.
i. I didn’t own the cars they weren’t mine
ii. The owners of those cars did not ask me or hire me to protect those cars
iii. Those cars were not being stolen. They weren’t being taken away. They were only being defaced.
So no I cannot use deadly force to protect that property.
2. May I use deadly force to protect myself from the charging man.
And the answer is No. Why?
i. Because I provoked him. It is called Provocation! (Even with a stand my ground law. The exception is that when you do something to provide a situation you cannot then use deadly force to defend yourself. Neither from the threat of force or the use of force that you provoked.)
It is as simple as that, folks.
Kyle Rittenhouse should be found guilty on all the accounts here.
I was being a vigilante and as a result I killed someone.

you're analogy doesnt fit kid, because in this case the attackers DID have guns and wepaons. It was his life or theirs. Also they were starting fires and destroying businesses which is endangerment to the community, your weak ass analogy of tagging cars with graffiti does not fit here. There is also no evidence that Kyle provoked anybody. The only video evidence that exists shows
them chasing him with weapons. From a jurors point of view this is clear self defense sorry bud you are just plain wrong.
